Ahh ... the old 419 ... very old and still going. Surprising how many people fall for it still. Greed eating itself I suppose. Anyway ... there is a site (below) set up to attempt to slow these idiots.

People are unfortunately that gullable. or some at least, normally the most vulnerable of us too.
Personally i wouldn't fall for it. |

It is not so much gullible as greedy - the scammers usually want some fees paid up front which you can refuse straight away but some people don't and then they ask for a bigger fee and so on. I have met people who genuinely believed all the stories about validations and bribes, etc. They could not take their eyes off the $20 million - like a rabbit in a headlight beam. |

Absolute scam. They will send you a check and ask you to deposit their check and remit some of the money back to them. By the time their check bounces, yours will be cashed.You are left with noone to prosecute since they are in another country. DO NOT DO THIS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Not at all. I spam them. It does amaze me the things some people will fall for. It's sad, but true. |

Are people that gullible? Yes indeed, just when you think they hit rock bottom, they sink deeper into the pit. |

i get lots of those emails but never reply back... i just delete them |

I certainly hope you are not asking this question because you fell for it |

Yes! I replied and received ÂŁ372,000,000 in lots of brown envelopes. Once the ink dries I'm off on a spending spree! |

had a couple of these also and just deleted them because if it was genuine they would have my address not my email. I would never have that kind of luck anyway. I'm on this planet to work for my money and there is no easy way out for me. |
|

 |
No!
Yes, people are so gullible. Such emails continue to circulate, in numerous guises, because people do answer and, ultimately, part with large sums as 'seed capital' for the big reward. Instances of victims losing ÂŁ20,000+ have been recorded in the UK and USA! |

I received this frequently and one time I answered sending the number account and all, but they want my address, and I suppose are bad business. |

yes, its a scam and sadly there are still lots of people falling for it. call it uneducated, naif , etc...
At least you didn't get it thru snail mail , now that's SICK.
My mother got a snail mail with similar content.
She asked me if its real.
Well the mail said it was a lotto from Spain and we never ever have been to Spain, second it was made by a simple 'bad' color printer, the paper was cheap and the email on it was from a free email service. That and the stamp wasn't from Spain.
My mother isn't stupid by a long shot , its just she is a bit naif and thinks that no one is that evil. |

No doubt it is scam. It breaks through all the channels, usually from Africa. They get e-mail addresses of the companies, which advertise in different world and European Directories. |

I would have smelt a rat if I got that email. Someone would fall for it though, out of stupidity and greed, as soon as they saw ELEVEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED U.S.A DOLLARS. |

sadly many people are falling for these scams and loose thousands if not more. thats why we've been receiving more lately. they use the greed and desperation of some people to scam them. a normal person wouldn't fall for these scams or the "you've won the lottery" scams. |

nahh......
I'll never believe in such a crop!!.... |

I personally wouldn't fall for it. For one, you can't look for someone in the internet. Two, those details are too risky to answer and well, better safe than sorry. Three, I've heard about people falling for e-mails or text messages about getting money. They actually have to pay the senders first. |
|

you know you love me
 |
i got this exact email the other day, the only difference being that there was no form to fill in and the money was $10,000,000 |

my Advice: Don't deal with anyone from a foreign country or Accept checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER give out your personal information to strangers online! Always be on guard. |
